Abstract

Project Description: The proposed project would consist of the replacement of the SR 36 Bridge over the Towaliga River. A temporary detour bridge would be erected adjacent to and south of the existing bridge. Road alignment impacts associated with the detour bridge would extend along SR 36 approximately 1320 feet on either side of the river. Existing right-of-way is 80-100 feet. No additional right-of-way is anticipated. If possible, the temporary detour bridge would be erected entirely within the existing rightof-way; however, a small temporary easement might be needed. Soil Description: According to the Soil Survey of Butts County, Georgia (Unknown USDA author 1955), the soil types found within the study area are Cecil sandy clay loam, 6 to 10 percent slopes, found on uplands; Cecil sandy loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes, found on uplands; Madison sandy clay loam, 6 to 15 percent slopes, found on uplands; and Wehadkee soil flooded, < 2 percent slopes, found on floodplains.
